	Paifang's Queen
		Crossed to P. Salu Spot (P. Paifang's Auckland x P. Golden Amboin) by Ching Her Orchid Nursery in 1995, the resulting P. Golden Sun is a remarkable hybrid with flowers that run the gamut from white to deep yellow overlaid with varying amounts of red spotting, almost attaining solid red in several cultivars.

		Although P. Paifang’s Queen is the parent of less than 100 hybrids, it has made an indelible mark on phalaenopsis breeding in 23 years and 4 short generations.

		I think the man is at the Grote street entrance (these entrance gates are called Paifang) standing next to where the lion on the left is. The large old brick building on the right further confirms this.
		I've also noted that the paifang at the Grote street end has square stone footings, whilst the ones at the Moota Street end are round.
